Our stay in Ventura was a great spot for us and some of our friends to get together and enjoy a weekend at the lake. We loved looking out at the lake from the covered patio and being able to walk across the road to fish, as well as up the road for ice cream at the Viking ;) The house was comfortable and we appreciated all of the yard games they had available to so we could enjoy a relaxing weekend with friends at the lake.

We were in Mason City for the world aerobatic contest held at the airport for 8 days. This spacious home was absolutely perfect for our group. It had plenty of room and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front covered porch was easily our favorite spot * ideal for enjoying early morning coffee while looking out over the water, sharing meals and relaxing after long days at the airport. Catching the lunar eclipse over the lake right from the porch was truly unforgettable. We would love to stay here again. Thank You !!!!

Great lakeview location! We enjoyed the lake views from the large windows and outdoor patio space. The car classic show drove right by the house the week we were there! Fun watching cars from the comfort of the patio. Our toddler and preschool grandchildren enjoyed the large yard and corner lot. Upstairs bathroom is updated with a beautiful tile shower. Host was attentive and available to communicate anytime we reached out throughout the week. Loved walking to the local ice cream shop.

Great place for the family

Great house that was plenty big for our family. Location was great and right across from the boat ramp, which made it easy for fishing. The front porch area was amazing. Great to be out there to Watch the sunrise and have dinners.

Lovely property!

The house was everything we needed and the bonus was the lake view. We spent a lot of time on the patio. The beds were comfy and the group commented on the wonderful showers. If we're ever in Clear Lake again, we would most definitely stay at this house!

Wonderful stay!

This lovely property with a great location across the street from the lake hosted my family (adult children) and grandson. Comfortable beds and extra room for everyone to sleep and 2 bathrooms with showers to accommodate our party of 10. We really enjoyed the patio/outdoor space in the mornings and evenings and made our way for beach and lake activities during the day. (we loved State Beach!) Sherri was great to work with and we were thankfully able to even add a day to our trip! Highly recommend! 😎
